The Winter 2015 issue of Physician Family features important information about the process, as did the first issue of Physician Family.

Top Five Financial Goals for Residents and FellowsBy Kerri Zelenik BurtonIs it possible to break even or even get ahead during residency? A financial planner who also happens to be married to a physician offers this advice in the Fall 2012 issue of Physician Family.

For Match 2015, members of the AMA Resident and Fellow Section (RFS) communicated with students and offered guidance during Match Week. And their support didn’t end there. Now that the Match has ended, the AMA-RFS asked students to send the most pressing questions they’d like residents to answer via Facebook. We reviewed each question from your peers and have compiled the best resident responses, so you can make the most of this new chapter in your medical career.

Additionally, the American Medical Association Alliance, a nationwide network of medical families and publisher of Physician Family, offers networking opportunities for new residents and their families at www.amaalliance.org.

Membership for residents, fellows and their family members is only $10 per year and now includes mailed hard copies of Physician Family as a member benefit.
